puff the magic dragon，是一首英国童谣，来自歌唱组合Peter, Paul, and Mary。以人们从孩童长大后失去童真为主题的歌：”The lost innocence”，Puff是龙的名字，又是一个象声词，形容一整烟雾，很快消散，孩子的名字叫做Jackie Paper,Jackie是欧美一个很大众的名字，Paper是白纸，一张白纸很容易染上任何一种颜色，当孩子慢慢长大的时候，他就需要更多物质的的东西，自然他也就不会再喜欢Puff了，而Puff在没有了孩子想象力支撑的时候，只能象烟雾一样消失掉了。

然后，这首歌却在香港和新加坡遭到禁播，因为有些认想到这个小男孩的名Jackie Paper是代表用来卷毒品的卷纸，而歌中出现的autumn mist秋天的雾气是指吸大麻时的白烟，连地名land of Hanah Lee也是说夏威夷的Hanalei城，因产大麻而出名。歌唱组合Peter, Paul, and Mary 为了反抗和嘲讽这种牵强地把歌曲和毒品联系起来的流言，有时会特意暂停演唱会来向广大歌迷解释Puff的歌词是怎样描述毒品，或者干脆说药物引起的幻觉。Newsweek上还有一篇文章专门写流行歌曲中隐含的毒品信息，其中就提到了Puff这首歌。在2000年的电影Meet the Parents中，关于这首歌是否隐含毒品信息而展开一场辩论。一首1958年诞生的歌到了2000年还总有人提，命运坎坷！

生活在现如今这个物欲横流的时代，我们每个人都曾渐渐遗忘我们内心的一份童真。就让这首经历了半个世纪的音乐，来叩醒我们每个人内心的那条PUFF龙。

Together they would travel on boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail
